Sonichu Is Chris even subconsciously aware of how bad Sonichu is? -

Was going to post in Chris, but this forum can always use some love.

Do you guys think that Chris is even subconsciously aware of how bad Sonichu is? I know he would never admit aloud that Sonichu is bad, but do you think that he is mentally capable of comparing his comic to serious graphic novels and thinking, "Wow mine sucks."?

I think he is possibly aware that his art isn't that great but as for the stories, he thinks they are awesome.

Iv'e always wondered this to, but me thinks now that he's convinced himself to much to the point that he thinks its the best mother fucking thing around. And I don't even think he has ever even bought let alone "read" an actual graphic novel (well maybe when he was 12 but I doubt it since he was way to obsessed with sonic). TLR his ego is so disproportionally big that it prevents him from seeing any of his work as shite.

He seems to still consider the sonichu comics as pieces of art, and refers to himself as a good artist. I believe that Chris thinks sonichu is a great comic, and he might even think the art is excellent. Chris seems to be very good at fooling himself into thinking he's amazing. Remember how he still claims that he's very attractive, despite years of being told otherwise by anyone but his mom and troll sweethearts? Given that he sees himself as wildly attractive, I wouldn't be very surprised if he thinks Sonichu is among the best comics of our generation.

Re: Is Chris even subconsciously aware of how bad Sonichu is

You have to remember that we only know Sonichu as a comic because pen and paper are the only resources Chris can use with any-any-degree of competency. His consistent TV jargon-not to mention the "Great Director Chandler" slip-show that it is for all intents and purposes a storyboard for a cartoon series.

So, in a sense, while he may fancy himself the world's greatest artiste who deserves nothing less than the finest sexings, I think he knows that a comic is not the optimal medium for telling the story; it's just that he's utterly hopeless at marshaling together the necessary resources to make it a cartoon.

Borb and his teachers have probably hammered in his head that he is nothing short of an art prodigy. He thought he shouldv'e gotten the art award in highschool despite not being very creative or artistically inclined, and then he cried.
His Mommy tells him his art is bootiful so that makes it true.

As for the story I have no clue, art was always his selling point.

Re: Is Chris even subconsciously aware of how bad Sonichu is

Considering that Borb and presumably his middle/high school art teachers have said how great his art work is for all of his childhood and adolescent years, I don't think Chris will be able to admit that he is not a good artist.
I think one of the reasons Chris did not like much of his time at PVCC may be because his teachers were more critical of what he did. I'm not sure if Chris ever talked about any experiences besides with the CADD Chef.

How did he even pass that class? I bet CADD Chef was a lot nicer than Chris made him out to be, because Chris managed to pass the class, even though he can't do scale well at all. Hell, scale is a weak point in his art.

I think he still sees it as a work of art, but perhaps he might get the message that his comic is horrible over time.

Re: Is Chris even subconsciously aware of how bad Sonichu is

I can't think of any time that Chris has displayed genuine self-awareness. I have little doubt that he thinks that Sonichu is incredible, both on an art and writing level. If everybody else thinks it's awful, it's because they're DAMN DIRTY TROLLS, and the people who really do love Sonichu are out there, somewhere.

Re: Is Chris even subconsciously aware of how bad Sonichu is

I'd say Chris holds Sonichu in very high regard. To him, the only reason it never got turned into a video game/comic franchise/movie/anime tv show is that the trolls trolled away his creativity before he could grasp that golden opportunity.

Re: Is Chris even subconsciously aware of how bad Sonichu is

I don't think so. I can't remember which video it was - I think it was during the Liquid Saga - where Chris is showing of his totally awesome HAND DRAWN artwork and he states, dead-serious, "I did an awesome fuckin' jawwwwb." The fact that he's so satisfied with his shitty crayola drawing leads me to believe that he genuinely thinks he's the next Michelangelo. This is furthered by the fact that he'll go as far as to pick apart quality fan drawings and revise them in his own style.

Perhaps, though, we are looking at Sonichu all wrong, and it's meant to be some sort of Rorschach test only Chris understands?
...nah, he's just shit at drawing.

THIS

It's very possible this happened considering how Chris also told off Snyder even though the latter lessened his punishment.

I don't think Chris physically perceives the world the same way most of us do, and it's not just his ego.

This. Based on what we know about Chris, I don't see any evidence that he's experienced comics that much at all. Obviously he read the Sonic comics from Archie, but I don't think he read that many, nor do I think he ready anything else beyond that. As HB said, the comics are his attempt to create a TV show while lacking the appropriate resources. Sonichu comics aren't actually formatted like comics at all.

It's another great missed opportunity on Chris's part... if he had embraced comics as a format, he might have had a successful webcomic. It might be successful for the wrong reasons, but he'd have a following.

Given that he seems to believe that Guitar Hero controller can make sounds on its own like a real guitar...

Re: Is Chris even subconsciously aware of how bad Sonichu is

I've often wondered if Chris considers his work to be stylised, or maybe more appropriately, he looks at other artists styles and thinks that because their characters aren't portrayed with realistic anatomy then his don't have to. For example he'd look at Hobbes and know that a tiger isn't proportioned like that and then think that his characters shifting proportions and spaghetti limbs are no different.

Sonichu's bad? It's an avant-garde masterpiece.

Yup, it's mostly this. Adding to that the constant stream of praise from Borb/assorted teachers/classmates that didn't necessarily want to kick the autistic and it's a recipe for delusion. Denial in his CREATIVITY would imply that he actually has doubts about it, so I'd vote that he genuinely thinks he's amazing, or at the very least competent.

Re: Is Chris even subconsciously aware of how bad Sonichu is

Considering anyone who tells Chris how shite his art is immediately gets labeled as a troll in his mind I would assume no. Chris is so used to being coddled that people who tell him his comic is less the perfect must be evil slanderous members of the PVCC.
